Our uncoercive, team player foreign policy vs their axiomatically untrustworthy dealings

The great equalizer (negative)

Whataboutism in response to an Israeli-style terror bombing on a school full of children, no different from saying “But the Iran regime” in response to the US massacre of all those schoolgirls. Morally and politically bankrupt, trying first and foremost to uphold a collapsing party line in the face of overwhelming reality. These are your heroes.

You may not think a country is “worth defending”, but inevitably the people who live actual lives there and don’t want their kids killed by nazis will feel differently.

Someone should write the world’s dumbest book about this

You are talking to a Chinese person in China and trying to “set them straight on the facts” when they live there and you just consume youtube

Well, give me the studies, arguments and independent periodistic reports that are clearly not subject to interests conflicts.

Because I have them.

Lol no you don’t, everything you think you know about anticapitalist societies has been told to you by capitalist societies. Might as well ask the Tsar what he thinks about the commoners (fun fact, the colonialist powers that gave you your indoctrination invaded Russia during the revolution to fight alongside the Tsar against the commoners).

Again, you all are being, blind,bManichean and naive by basically cherry-picking and looking to another side when there’s information that doesn’t support your beliefs

Are you just stringing together reddit words? Neither of us has presented anything yet, how can we be “cherrypicking” things that haven’t been presented. Are you in some kind of fugue state? All that’s happened is that you’ve stumbled in here like a drunk in a museum and vomited your terribly weak propaganda all over the displays.

With all due respect, this is baby’s first anticommunist propaganda and we’ve all debunked these claims four million times.

The early days of the republic when the entire economy was based on native genocide and all the work was done by millions of enslaved people weremovedd, tortured and sold like animals?

I’m not trying to be Mr Gotcha here, I’m trying to communicate that there is literally no good past we can turn to. It’s always been like this, just lately the mask has come off

Becoming? So it wasn’t authoritarian when black people were routinely beaten by police for drinking from the wrong fountain or looking at a white person wrong?

Or perhaps the genocidal occupation of the Philippines. Not authoritarian?

The thing is, if you take control of an area known to have regular famines, and then another famine happens under your control, and then never again…

You have in fact ended the famines

That’s fair

It’s called the space race, not the moon race.

you are literally describing capitalism

CNN had a decent report last decade about it that I’m surprised hasn’t been taken down: https://youtu.be/1fsMqYqHnN0

The high command of the army and many, many government officials isn’t exactly “a few idiots”

Yup

The democratic structure doesn’t appear democratic

What do you mean by this?

there are countless of expats who tell horror stories.

Expats like Yeonmi Park?

Do you have any real reason to believe that other than the equivalent of a pinky-swear from the government?

Do you have any real reason to disbelieve it other than the equivalent of a lifetime of flashlight-under-chin spooky stories from the Epstein governments?

Communist/Anarchist: Opposes genocide

Liberal: You’re splitting the left!
